This is my video that myself, Harry & Kieran created together for our DSLR project. The concept of the video is basically Kieran walking down a college hallway, only to find a random key on the ground. He then uses this key to open a nearby door, but what he finds on the other side is another story. We all used the same video clips but as individuals, we edited them to our own liking. I thought of a friendly, funny and old fashioned concept: a cartoon.
Technical Aspects
I found working with the camera really easy because we took shots that would follow the movement of the character and in the process, it turned out really good. We also did a little experiment after watching a technique video on the powerpoint, and that was the floor view where Kieran walked down the stairs, as well as picking up the key was a bit of experiment because we got to use different camera movements as well as experimenting with the controls on the camera. at one point we made it dark, and the next we made it light but we stuck to the original lighting. Whilst the others stuck to a more creepy vibe, I thought it was best that I kept the family friendly element encased within the video.
Creative Aspects
As a class, our main objective was to create a video with the plot consisting of someone from our mini groups to walk up to a key on the floor, and use this key to unlock a door. Using our imaginations, and the help of a technique video, we created the movie. Overall I am happy with how the film turned out and once it was put together in Premier Pro, it turned out perfect.
Group Working
Overall, I found that working as a group was really good because when we uppercased our ideas together, it pretty much summed up the film you see today. Harry was the lead of our group because he came up with the most agreed ideas. If I can recall, we didn't have any disagreements at all, we went with each other's ideas smoothly and listened to others suggestions.
Organisation
With careful planning, mainly a well put together storyboard, everything went according to plan, we all stuck to the original idea and never made any changes at the last minute.
